Research Focus
Dr. Anneclaire J De Roos's research lab focuses on understanding how extreme weather events, like heatwaves and heavy rainfall, impact children's health. The lab investigates both immediate health effects, such as respiratory issues and injuries, and long-term health problems caused by repeated exposure to extreme weather. They aim to gather data and provide insights that will inform policies to protect vulnerable communities and promote health equity.
